Reds at Brewers (June 15, 2014)

The Reds hope to give you the gift you always wanted today: A Reds victory and series win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Mike Leake takes the hill for Cincinnati, trying to get back on track after back-to-back 5-run outings. Similarly, Marco Estrada is trying to recover from a string of five straight poor starts.

I think you meant “Nobody can convince me” because there’s about a mountain of articles and research that can argue it. I love the idea of guys being clutch but when the evidence doesn’t back it up that’s that.

We covered this a year or two ago. It’s almost certainly less than they had last year because LOB is usually an indicator of a good offense because it means more guys are getting on base. The BRM left tons of guys on base because they were always getting guys on.
